What are users saying about NY Fishing, Hunting & Wildlife

K70%
by K####:

Icons are too small. Text is even smaller. Info is not pertinent to your area. I was in WMU 8T and it gave info for Region 7. No option for researching other areas or choosing an alternate area. ECO contact numbers are wrong. 1 officer retired OVER 2 years ago. Basically NY wasted our money paying this company to develop CRAP

Full page add keeps poping and won't let me access app. I'll try in a couple of days. Waste of time at the moment.

U70%
by U####:

Full page pop up ads. Not as much information as the actual web page. No depth maps for bodies of water. Should have figured anything with Cuomos name on it would be crap.

U70%

I live next to the Oswegatchie and St Lawrence rivers and this app doesn't show any fishing spots on either. Nor do any other rivers in the state, from what I've seen. Fix this, please.

Best free GPS in the field. I use the way points to mark spots and routes. Occasionally freezes up ,but normally that is due to bad reception area .Resets fine as I use it on my phone. Tablet is where I do my hunt planing. I recommend it highly. Hunting regulations are at your finger tips for quick reference.

You should be able to sign in and see your active holdings

Would be great, if it stops crashing on load

Z70%
by Z####:

I felt the app was some what useful but lack many things the biggest of all was they should have a place for other anglers to put information about specific body's of water so when your looking for a spot you can get info from someone who's fished it first hand

S70%

Uninstalling when I hit fishing spots near me it says none. I know there are many DEC public access spots close by.

Looking for fisheries, doesn't list Great Sacandaga Lake, Indian lake, Raquette Lake, to name a few, and all the state boat launches aren't listed. What species of fish that can be found in each lake would be useful, also a contour map of lake bottoms would be novel and very useful.

When you try to report a harvest it come up as a blink screen. I have tryed to uninstall and then re install that didnt work too

Good idea but this is poorly designed, not intuitive, and not very helpful. Another waste of taxpayers money.

X70%
by X####:

Works well and has good info, But on my phone you are unable to enlarge it to a size big enough to read. It has a plus and minus button onlt, unable to swipe it to a zoomed image.

X70%
by X####:

Very good App with nice, user friendly layout. The only issue that I have is that dates of the various seasons are not listed. This should not be to technical of a problem to address.
